The SSL1 core implements SSL and/or TLS frameworks with a configurable variety of cipher suites.
SSL1-AXI has a “lookaside” interface to the rest of system through two AXI interfaces:
•AXI3/AXI4 slave for control
•AXI3/AXI4 master for data transfer
The data stream through the control interface contains processing commands. Each command consists a pointer to the descriptor in the system memory. Descriptor contains source, destination, encryption context, processing length, and status.
The encryption context (keys, encryption state, etc.) as well as the packets are stored in the system memory attached to the AXI bus and are read and written via the master interface.
The design is fully synchronous and is available in Verilog.
